"The first CPA who has treated our relationship as a partnership"

“We have been in the construction business for sixteen years. In that time we have worked with four CPA’s. Sarah is the first CPA who has treated our relationship as a partnership, and quickly has become a trusted partner. She is knowledgeable, witty, and quick to respond. We enjoy our visits as she always goes the extra mile, and has helpful hints to support us. We often find ourselves saying “Let’s ask Sarah”.

Not only does Sarah know accounting and ever changing IRS landscape, she also understands the construction industry and the unique opportunities and challenges we face. She is quick to offer counsel on how other builders navigate any number of challenges.

Sarah has a smile on her face when you meet her in person and it shows when she is on the phone or communicating with e-mail.”
